Logically, an underground pool would have to be in a cave and, while it might be possible to swim in such a pool, it is not what most of us have in mind when we say “let’s go for a swim in the pool”. In this respect, most public and private swimming pools are above the ground.
In Ground vs. Above Ground
When constructing an outdoor swimming pool, we have the choice of digging a hole in the ground, lining the hole in a watertight manner and filling it with water; or, we can construct a frame above the ground, into which we place a watertight liner which we then fill with water. In ground pools are, perhaps, more logical but, they may not be practical to construct in many places. Unfortunately, many of the earlier above ground pool designs were not much more than a metal fence or railings supporting a big plastic bag full of water.
Such early designs may have been fine for getting into on a hot day to cool off in the water but, they were not pretty to look at and did nothing to enhance the appearance of the property where they were located.
